Jones School Among Country’s Best in New Rankings

Rice University's Master of Business Administration (MBA) program is No. 8 for best professors and best-administered MBA programs – up from No. 9 last year, according to new rankings from the Princeton Review.

And this week the Financial Times identified the Rice MBA for Executives program as the No. 11 program in the U.S. and the No. 1 executive MBA program in the Southwest, same as last year. Among the US programs that were ranked, the program ranked No. 8 for average percent salary increase three years post-graduation, and No. 20 for aims achieved.

“The Jones School is realizing a return on our investment in quality students and faculty as the value of the Rice MBA continues to appreciate,” said Bill Glick, dean of the Jones School. “This recognition validates our continuing commitment toward increasing our intellectual contributions, teaching quality, student quality and value to alumni and employers. Our overall strategy is to provide the greatest value to our stakeholders, and the positive movement within these metrics is a great indicator.”
